Great set, when you say brightly Aquarium, I take it you added extra lights?

Well, it's got special lighting just for the plants so they are always on the tank. It sure makes it a bit easier for the macro shots but I still have to use a flash for best results.

My full tank shots are proving to be troublesome. I think I'll have to read up some on some suitable lenses.
